Historic Tour - Val de Vienne - F3 Classic & FR Classic - 2021

 

The first lap battle for the lead.

A highlight of the Historic Tour is always the F3 Classic and FR Classic racing.   2021 at Val de Vienne was no exception.   A nice field of twenty cars kept us entertained with a good mixtures of marques including Martini, Ralt, March, Chevron, Reynard and Van Diemen.  A very nice end to my Saturday afternoon at this meeting.  The top cars and a good mix of the rest can be seen below:

The winning F3 March 783-Toyota of Frédéric Rouvier who took the lead on lap 11.

Matthieu Chateaux in a 1982 Ralt RT3-Alfa, the early leader had to settle for an eventual second place.

The third placed car of Brady Beltrameki, a March 813-Toyota.  Here he is leading a Ralt.

This 1984 Ralt RT3-Alfa of Laurent Vallery-Masson finished fourth.

Fifth was this 1977 Chevron B38-Toyota F3 car raced by an Italian driver, Gianluigi Candiani.

In sixth place was the well known automotive CEO, Carlos Antunes Tavares, in a 1983 F3 Ralt-RT3-Alfa Romeo.  Here he is seen following a Martini Mk54 Formula Renault Turbo driven by Jean-Paul Gobba.

First Formula Renault Turbo car home was this 1986 Martini Mk48 driven by Lionel Robert.   Some will remember Lionel racing against Jean Alesi, Eric Bernard and Yannick Dalmas in Formula Renault Turbo in the mid-eighties.
An interloper in the field was this 1993 Formula Opel Lotus Reynard driven by Belgian Georges Tomsen.
